These young Bedouins enjoy themselves after the race when some of them recieved monetary rewards. In this painting I improvised from the previous painting which I had done earlier in watercolour.
wonderful painting style. I really like these dramatically designed compositions with the large flat areas contrasting with the complicated groups of figures. Extremely interesting
Interesting peeks of colour through the 'darkness' of the approaching night sky... Wonderfully handled Francis! Creates such an atmosphere of closeness and camaraderie! Excellent oil painting! :o)
Boy I love these darker orange colors of the coming evening. I like how the sun reflects on the camels in the foreground as they look about proudly. This is a beautiful painting and your entire portfolio contains some of the most amazing paintings I've ever seen.
Man! I can't even keep up with you anymore!!
I haven't check all of your last uploaded arts and you already uploaded another one. I love this one Francis. Nice light.
